Courtyard with Rock

This house was designed to capitalize on the incredible rock bluff at the rear of the property. The living room encloses a portion of the bluff inside while windows in the bedroom and shower look onto its rough and quiet surface. The home is organized with active living on the left, serene courtyard in the middle, and private bedrooms in the right wing. A stair is designed to go up the rock bluff to a 20 ft x 20 ft platform with a firepit and hot tub. Climbing higher is more of a challenge but is well rewarded with a view to the ocean to the east and the inlet to the west. (photo by Ana Sandrin)
